OP excerpts length

Posted on 2023-08-032023-08-03 by D0WG

I could not help but notice that this OP here:

Do you believe in angels? About 7 in 10 U.S. adults do, a new AP-NORC poll shows.

far exceeds the excerpted length that is advised in the authoring guidelines, which state:

Please respect copyright!!!

  • DO NOT post an entire article. When quoting an article please limit yourself to no more than 20 lines or less than half the article length (which ever is less).

I’m sure that this must be a simple oversight on the part of the OP creator given that they are most certainly aware of the guidelines and the potential copyright issues that are opened up when excerpting such a long portion of an article, but I feel it needs to be pointed out as copyright issues need to be respected and anyone creating and publishing OPs needs to make sure that the authoring guidelines are followed.  This is especially so with those who have publishing privileges!

A blatant and obvious violation of such a basic channel guideline also leads to the question as to whether or not moderator activity on the channel is subject to any level of scrutiny by other moderators, or do the moderators just have free rein to do as they please?
